Hemas Consumer Brands’ two iconic household names, Baby Cheramy and Clogard, have been recognised among Sri Lanka’s Favourite Product Brands in the latest PepperCube T25 survey, conducted by PepperCube Consultants and published by LMD.
The T25 Favourite Products/Services Brands ranking is based on a nationwide survey covering 12,000 consumer responses collected over a 12-month period from May 2025 to April 2026. The survey gathers monthly feedback from 1,000 respondents across Sri Lanka and identifies the country’s most preferred brands through unprompted consumer nominations. The top 25 brands in each category are selected and listed alphabetically.
The inclusion of both Baby Cheramy and Clogard in the 2026 ranking highlights the strong consumer trust, brand loyalty, and long-standing presence these brands have built among Sri Lankan families through decades of delivering products designed to meet changing consumer needs.
Baby Cheramy Continues Its Legacy of Trust Among Parents
For 65 years, Baby Cheramy has remained a trusted companion for Sri Lankan parents, supporting families through some of their most cherished moments. Built around the values of love, safety, and holistic child care, the brand has become an integral part of parenting journeys across generations.
Its recognition as one of Sri Lanka’s Favourite Product Brands reflects the deep connection and confidence families continue to place in the brand. This achievement further strengthens Baby Cheramy’s position as a leading name in the baby care category, following previous recognition as an LMD ‘Most Loved Brand’ and the ‘Best of Best’ Brand.

Major Milestone Achieved as South Asia’s Longest Irrigation Tunnel Breakthrough Completed Under North Central Canal Project
Sri Lanka has reached a historic engineering milestone with the successful completion of excavation work on South Asia’s longest irrigation tunnel, a key component of the ambitious North Central Canal Project. The landmark achievement is set to be officially commissioned today (15), representing a significant step forward in the country’s largest water security initiative.
The 27.7-kilometre-long irrigation tunnel is being constructed under the Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program (MWSIP) with financial support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The project achieved its major engineering breakthrough when two advanced Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) working from opposite directions successfully connected underground.
One TBM commenced excavation from Mahameegaswewa, while the second began operations from Koduruwa. Their successful underground meeting marks a remarkable feat in Sri Lanka’s infrastructure development and highlights the country’s growing capabilities in advanced engineering and large-scale construction projects.
The wider North Central Canal Project, spanning nearly 240 kilometres, aims to transform water management across Sri Lanka by connecting major irrigation systems and reservoirs. Upon completion, the project will provide water to 12 major irrigation schemes and 1,505 tanks linked to 130 Ellanga systems, directly supporting around 25,000 farming families and enabling the cultivation of approximately 74,000 hectares of agricultural land during both the Yala and Maha cultivation seasons.
Beyond agricultural development, the project is expected to improve access to clean drinking water in the North Central Province, where communities have faced challenges linked to Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu). Through the canal system, around 70 million cubic metres of water annually will be supplied to support the drinking water needs of an estimated 1.5 million people.
Environmental protection has also been prioritised throughout the project. Construction activities in sensitive wildlife areas have incorporated the “Cut and Cover” method to reduce ecological impact. Additional conservation measures, including elephant corridors and radio collar monitoring of wild elephants, have been introduced to minimise human-elephant conflict.
Once the remaining phases are completed, major reservoirs including Hurulu Wewa, Nachchaduwa, Tissa Wewa, and Mahakanadarawa will receive water through the canal network. The project is expected to strengthen agriculture, freshwater fisheries, and livestock development while improving water security across the Northern and North Central Provinces.
The completion of South Asia’s longest irrigation tunnel represents a defining achievement in Sri Lanka’s infrastructure journey and a major investment towards long-term agricultural resilience, sustainable development, and national water security.
